Planes, Trains, & Automobiles (Jan 18)


We packed up all our belongings for this 5 week trip, which was a 20lb backpack each, and headed off to the train station to catch a 7:05 express train to Kyiv. After the train, we took a Marshruka (bus) to the airport where we spent our last 84 Grieves on an 85 Grieve lunch! Oops!

After our plane was delayed 3 times for a total of 50 min, we flew to Milan, Italy. We were delighted with the immigration lack of customs...we never thought we'd make our connecting flight on time!! We arrived in Naples and found a bus to the train station around 11pm. We did not have a place to stay, but we knew we wanted to be near the train station! We went into one hotel, and the price was a bit high so the woman at the desk called around for us and found a better price. Then, the bellhop put on his coat and walked us to the new hotel!!! (Ironically, the hotel was called...see photo!) Now that is service! Jen was still sick, but already she liked Italy!!
